Not saying this cause I think I'm a know it all but Holdsworth left the NRL at an age where if he was going to make it as a half he would have done so already, it was a bad move to bring him back, we are getting from him what I expected.

There's nobody else to chuck there. Holdsworth was better than Manumalealii by a mile.

Looks like we're stuck with him until Robsons back.

By a mile? BS

Penani debuted, give him a chance. Holdsworth has been around for years, never was a star and will always be ****.

Penani deserves a chance over an "experienced" hack.

This is where a REAL coach shows his value.

The Shark mentality could actually see that become a reality!

I don't rate the guy but with the money we are paying Holdsworth we probably could have got Dobson who is playing for the Knights, he's the sort of half who isn't brilliant but has a ok kicking game & gets the team around the park which I think is what we were after with Holdsworth, imo, wrong guy to get for what we wanted.

Yes, by a mile.

In the second half I didn't even notice Manumalealii in attack until his intercept (not that he really added anything to our attack in the first half) and after it he disappeared again. He was a major liability in defence also, my head sank every time they ran to ball towards him.

Holdsworth at least looked dangerous with the ball and he was always involved. Yeah he made some poor tackles, one of which lead to a try, but I'll excuse it as he was one Of the few still giving it his all in the last 15 mins.
